Summary
A native of Toronto, Ontario and a graduate of Long Island University, Matt is a PGA Class ‘A’ Professional who has a strong passion for player development, teaching, coaching, and club fitting. His main goal is to ensure everyone he works with has more fun playing the game while improving their performance.
For the past three and a half years, Matt has worked alongside Golf Magazine Top 100 Teacher and former Golf Canada National Men’s Coach, Henry Brunton, in operating his private academy in Toronto.
During that time, Matt lead all aspects of Strive for Excellence – a comprehensive, year-round coaching and training program for aspiring high-performance juniors ages 13-18- and New Competitive Golfer – a specialized coaching and training program for young golfers ages 8-13 who are learning to play the game and are new to competition.
